Classes
Rio Salado Rowing Club is fortunate to have been offered limited use of Firebird Lake for program use until Tempe Town Lake becomes available. Please refer to the tentative schedule listed below. It is possible that a F.I.R.E. as well as the Beginner and Adv Beginner classes will be added in October. Please check our web site in September for more information.
Rio Salado offers a variety of classes for novice to experienced rowers. All intermediate and above participants must be Club members. Beginner classes include membership for the length of the class. All participants must have a completed float test prior to the first class.
If you are not a current member of RSRC and interested in taking a class other than a Beginner class, there are many affordable membership options.
For additional information or assistance with Float Test Form, please contact Dottie.
For information about private sculling lessons, contact the program director, Dottie
